7 month update - a bit upset

went to see the surgeon - havent lose any weight - we were both disappointed - him more than me which made me upset to the point that upon leaving the oofice i stared to cry - Donna (office mgr / by pass pt) was really sweet as always and told me to do a food journal for the next 2 weeks and to email her that she would work with me - really made me feel like a failure- you know I am down 99 lbs from my heighest and 70 from surgery - i feel good (sometimes) I am so happy that I can go in the regular section in the store - granted I have to but an xl - but hey way better than 3xl (smaller than a 1xl) sohit damn it I should not feel like a failure - ... till next time america

I've only lost 83 lbs. so I guess I must be a failure too.. umm.. how about a BIG BLAH to ALL THAT NONSENSE!!! hehe BLAH TO NUMBERS TOO!!! They are so freakin' NOT THE POINT of any of this and for your surgeon to be all caught up in them is so lame.. hasn't he ever heard of a stall? If he hasn't, I can talk to him because I've had three of them for no apparent reason!!! hehe.. Please don't feel like a failure.. you're soooo rockin' it big time!!! And and and you're shopping in the regular section which means you are now a REGULAR not a FAILURE. You go!!! April R

Thank you April - It really made me upset - he was like you are either eating too much or not enough - you should be averaging 15 lbs a month and not 10 - but in my mind im like dude whatever this is almost another person that i have lost - usually i am not short for words but today - i guess since i have a summer cold - not to mention diareah for the last week and a half( which i totally forgot to tell him. i just was not in the mood to even fight him back - my dh was great he stopped in the middle of the isle in the store and gave me a great big hug and thanks you for listening to me rant - really made me feel good - hey when can we see pic of you in your "badass" wedding dress

No problem.. your surgeon just sounds like a total turd!!! hehe I posted a couple of my favorite wedding pics today.. keep on truckin! April R

hey all i can say is wow hot momma in the bad ass dress - can i be like you when i grow up?

We had our surgeries the same day I am only down 97lbs and I am pissed! I worke out 4-6 times a week, eat what I am suppose to and still can't break 100lbs, this is getting on my nerves. My dr however was happy with my progress so I don't really see why your surgeon is getting all up in arms about it. We will get thru this, ((((hugs))))

thanks ebony - girl you look great - dont stress it girl you will get there - 97 lbs is a whole person that's great ((hugs))

Everyone is different and so are our pounds. Don't let it get you down. He reminds me of an EXXXXX Doctor. You aren't trying hard enough. If I can do it so can you. They had never been over weight a day in their life. Look at your self and keeping telling your self Da...... I look good and I feel good too!

thanks you guys rock - i know that i havent been doing everything by the rules but i am not gorging out on crap all day either - well he wants to see me in 3 months and says i should be down 30 lbs - so as of monday i am going to try the plataue buster and kick up my excercise and i am going to let my body lose whatever weight it wants to - final answer regis haha - have a great weekend everyone - we are out house hunting again Jo

I think I may be done now, although I'm not happy about it. I'm down 65 with another 40 for the charts, but maybe 20 will make me happy. Still, under 1200 cal/day, keeping up fluids and protein 80-100 gms/day. Light in the exercise. But now scale maybe 2 lbs/month. Please don't feel like a failure. I'm so thrilled to be here -- never would have happened with out WLS. That "goal" was always a magic number anyway. The real hope was to have anormal life without always feeling sick and tired. Good luck.
